Some key features of Subrosa include:

Subrosa is developed by Subrosa Systems, a privacy-focused software company. It is designed for activists, journalists, and security-conscious organizations that require a high level of confidentiality in their communications. While similar to apps like Signal and Wire, Subrosa distinguishes itself by being decentralized and not requiring a phone number to create an account.
Overall, Subrosa aims to balance strong encryption and privacy with an accessible user experience for secure communication and collaboration across devices.
